so far as Judge Bross is concerned. The
judge was not even a candidate lor police
magistrate.
A Wasuinctox special to the Chicago
Twits says: "The secretary ot the
navy has under consideration the ques
'tion of asking congress to appropriate
'SjOO.OOO at the approaching extra ses-
'sion for the purpose ot fitting out eight
vessels to be held in readiness lor ser-
'vice in case of an emergency. It is
'feared the eastern troubles may possibly
'jeopardize American interests, and it is
'proposed to have these vessels ready to

Ntw Vokk Democrats are urging Mr
'i'ilden lor tho United States senate, to

Democrats could not please the country
better by any act they might do than to
send Mr. Tildeu to the senate. The
many years he has spent in tho public
service, and his never faltering devotion
t j the best interests of the whole coun
try has won lor him the conlidenec and
respect of the people ot every section.
In the senate he would wield a greater
influence than any other man in New

Ir is asserted by members ot the Pack

it is ever allowed to see print. The
document In question was prepared for
the signatures ol the supervisors of elec
tion In the parish of New Orleans, in
which they are to certify that the par
itli lid not go for Hayes as they returned
it, but that It really went for Tildeu by a
considerable majority. Tho change in

Hayes his prct-iid ;d m ijority in the

A ft w d.ij s ago the Springfield corres
pondent of the Chicago Tribune, sent to
that paper a statement of the number of
times each member of the house of rep.

that a tew of the uicmljcrs have not an
swered to their names from a hundred to
a bundled and fifty times, while very few
"I them have missed less than
twenty or thirty times. When tho pa
per containing the list wua received in
Springucld it created uo little consterna
tion among the members ol the bouse,
and when the house tint a number ol
them "rose to personal explanations,"
and nearly &U ot them claimed that the
correspondent had not reported them
correctly; that he had charged them
with being abent wheu they were
in their seats and attending
to their duties. Several gentlemen
were rather severe on the correspondent
who prepared the list, and ho was tie
liouiiuasu as a dirty dog," a "thief and
scoundrel," etc. It Is almost certain that
Thompson, the. coi respondent in ques

the report, but it is not probable that he
did so wilfully.

The speakership of the next house Is
the subject ot considerable talk among
Washington politicians. The candidates
are Randall, of Pennsylvania ; Morrison,
ot Illinois; Saylor, ot Ohio, and Cox, of
New York. Randall, who lias heretofore
considered his election almost certain,
has, within tho last few tJays, been less
hopeful of succors. The candidacy ot
.Mr. Morrison seriously Interferes witii
Randall's plans ; and even if Morrison
should be defeated, ho will not support
Randall, as it is generally understood he
did last year. Randall will not bo able
to control maii.y Southern votes, as he
has always been a high tariff man. and
always represents LVnnsylvaiiia tarilf in
terests, and as the Southern members
say, oppoes Southern improvement
schemes. Morrison it seems is gaining
strength, and it is now conceded that he
is Randall's strongest opponent, with
lair propeets for success.

At a conference held in Washington a
few days ago between Generals Sherman
and Sheridan and Indian Commis
sioner Smith, Gen. Sherman expressed
the belief that tho United States had wit
nessed the last great Indian war. The
occupation ot the Black Hills, and the
approaching removal ot the Sioux to tho
agency to be established tor them, will,
in the general's opinion,
render it impossible lor any tribe to car
ry on an extensive war against the
whites. That dissatisfied bands will oc
casionally create disturbances is to be ex
pected, but there will be no more Rreat
wars, and the Western frontier will be
lrec from any further depredations.
Spotted Tail, through whose efforts the
Sioux have been induced to discontinue
hostilities and surrender to the govern
mcnt, is to be rewarded for his services.
Commissioner Smith lias suggested that
a regiment of scouts be reerulted Irom
among the Indians, and that Spotted
Tail be commissioned colonel of the
regiment, withother chiefs of Jess note
as captains and lieutenants. Besides
providing an opportunity to reward
those Indians who hare all along been
friendly to the government, the commis
sioners believe such a force, divided up
into Km ill companies and stationed at
the different agencies, would render
Invaluable service in doing patrol duty.
General ohernian was favorably im
pressed with the suggestion, and it is
probable be will recommend that a reg
mc it ol Indians be enlisted, and that
Spotted Tall be commissioned colonel of
the regiment.
r v'(.Kr law.
The Illinois legislature has passed a
law the object ot which is tor the more
certain punishment of idlers and tramps.
The law provides for the
punishment as vagrants of "all persons
'who are idle and diaso-
lute, and who go about begging; all per
'sons who use any juggling or other un
'lawiul games or plays; runaw ays, pilfer .
'ers, conilde-nce men, common diuiik

'ton and lascivious persons In speech or
'behavior; common railers and brawl,

'lectful of their employment 'or their
calling, and do not lawfully provide for
themselves or tor the support of their
families ; and all persons who are idle
'and dissolute, and who neglect all law
ful business, and who habitually mis
spend their time by frequenting bouses
ol ill-fame, gambling houses or tip
phug shops; all persons lodging
in or found in the mgbt time in out
houses, sheds, barns, or uuoccupled
buildings, or lodging in the open air
'and not giving a good account of them-
'selves, and all persons who are known
'to be thieves, burglars, or pickpockets,
'cither by their own confesslouor other-
wise, or by having been couyicted of
larceny, burglary, or other crime
'against the laws of the state, punishable
'by Imprisonment in the stato prison, or
'in a house of correction of any city and
'having no lawiul iueaus ot support, or
'habitually found prowling around any
'teamboat landing, railroad depot,
'banking institution, broker s ofllce,

'public gathering or assembly, or loung-
'iiig about any court room, private
dwelling houses or out houses, or are
'found i'J any house ot ill-tame, gam-
bling house, or tippling shop." Per
haps no other city in the state will rtap
more or greater benelits from the passage
of this law than Cairo. It wil1
enable our officers to deal with a class of
men, who, under former state laws,
and under the city ordinance, could not
be punished. The class ot men we refer
to ar the corner loafers, bawdy
house biiniiueri, and night prowlers, of
whom Cairo always Las more than her
full quota. If this new law is enforced it
will be a great bcuelit to Cairo.

J.ivehi'uol, April 27. The Courkr
Loudon correspondent telegraphs that
the British government has resolved to
intertere between Uus-ia uuJ Turkey. 1
have the highest authority lor stating
that her majesty's government has just
been called upon by Austria to lultill her
engagements under the tripartite treaty
ot 100" lor protecting the- integrity ol the
Ottoman empire, and that a decision has
been come to at a cabinet council. The
cabinet resolved as the llrst step to make
a lormal request to the JCu.saiuii govern
ment to stato the object ot the military
operations now being undertaken against
the Ottoman government, and de-line the
extent to whiuh it is proposed to carry
those operations. The correspondent
also learns that the Austrian govern
ment will address an inquiry ol the same
purport to Kussia. France, the third
party to the tripartite alliance, has not
been required to take action iu considera
tion ot the strained relations ot France
and Germany. The treaty euainblcs any
one of the three powers to act separately
hi the lullillmeut ol its terms, or to call
upon either or both ol the powers to ful
lid the treaty by joint action.
Austria has obvious reasons lor.not em
broiliug France, yet Austri ' cannot
longer hesitate for roUting the lJus.-ian
invasion. Though Earl Derby was able
to confidently state a week ago that this
country was not likely to be called on to
fullill tho tripartite treaty, yet within six
days the British government had act
ually been required to lultill its under
taking, aud it is quite anticipated that
the uioiueutus alternative of declaring
war against Kussia will arise shortly.
The situation is regarded at Vienna as
far more urgent than British statesmen
arc ready to a linit, and the initiative ot
military action lies wi'h Austri. It was
reported la-t night that Lord Napier,
governor ofGihraltcr, had been instruct
ed to go to Malta, aud that a portion ol
the guards are- ordered to embark for
Malta Immediately. These reports are
believed to be premature, although It Is
understood that the strengthening of the
garrison at Melta has been under olllcial
consideration since tho government re
ceived froui Vienna a requisition to lul
lill the tripartite treaty.

Let it be borne iu mind that the same
reluming boards w hich gave Florida and
Louisiana to Hayes, gave the former to
Stearns and the latter to Packard ; aud
that tha electoral commission, which fur
nialied Hayes with his credentials, ac
cepted andjiudorsed the returning boards'
action. Vet Stearns and Packard are
out and Hayes is iu.
The Democracy have double cause for
sclf-congratulaiion on the event that
transpired in New Orleans Tuesday. The
Pepubiican party, through its president,
not only confesses the complete aud linal
failure ot lis reconstruction policy, but
at the sauie time acknowledges that the
Democracy carried Louisiana ut the elec
tion last November. For il Packard
w ho ran se veral liutdred votes ahead of
the Hayes electoral ticket was fairly
elected, why docs a Pepubiican adminis
tration re-fuse to support him, and there
by recognize Nicholls i And if Packard
was beaten, how could Hayes have been
victorious ami what becomes of his
title to the oflicc he holds? So iu Flori
da, if Stearns was fairly elected, why
Is Drew in possession ol the governor
ship? And if Stearns was was not elect
ed, how could Hayes get a majority in
Florida.
We leave the lie-publican party to find
its way out;ot this most awkward dilemma
as best it can. A ho Democracy are quiet
content with the situation, and well they
may be. They have, indeed, lost their
president, but gained everything else.
Tho Bepublicans gained their president
but lost everything else. Hayes has
adopted and enforced the Democratic
policy iu the South, and by so doing
admits tfiut tte deeinlun of th electoral
eommUsioH ua bated on 'falsehood, and
that he hut nut a shadow of Iryalor mural
right tu be wiere he is. When Stearns
stepped out aud Packard was kicked out,
Tlldeu's claim to the presidency was rat
iiied by the very party which repudiated
it.
